Doesn't the recent tax change make a pretty compelling case for index funds? With the tax rate differential increasing and the longer holding period, it is more likely that any trading within a managed fund will have to be passed through as highly taxed dividends. Does anyone know what the additional return would have to be? I suspect it is a very emperical calculation and will differ for each fund. But even some ballpark numbers would be interesting. (Brinker did start endorsing a passive approach and the total stock market index fund before the tax bill was set. After reading this thread, I found the reason for his change to be obvious.) -- Alan
